Oh yeah, nicely worked. Respect!
Now I am all for cracking another bottle and am never afraid of controversy but I have to admit I am totally unaware of the artists and work you mentioned - I guess if you really don't like the genre you never go looking for the pearls, and my tastes are rather more basic guitar based rock. ...
Having said that, while you were grazing on red last night I was too, but I was being entertained by a guy name Quike Navarro at the bar here.
Never quite seen an act like it - basically electric fiddle soloist playing along to popular music tracks, but not to a backing track as such in that he had a sound man on a mixing desk and the whole thing worked brilliantly.
His version of the devil came down to Georgia really rocked, although my wife got a bit concerned when he laid his fiddle at my feet. ...
Point its I guess you are able to have your conversations, I am still able to enjoy live music and we can both enjoy a glass of red or two - in my view that's the important thing, the "life" bit, just push the type 2 into the background!
